Editing a song
You can insert a new pattern into a song, or delete an existing
pattern. You can also add knob movements or your own per-
formance to a song.
If you wish to keep the edited song, you must perform
the Write operation. If you select a different song or turn
off the power without performing the Write operation,
the song will return to the state in which it was before
you edited it.
Inserting a pattern at a specified posi-
tion (Insert Pattern)
You can insert a pattern at a specified position, and subsequent
patterns will be moved backward (toward the end of the song).
1. If the song is playing, press the Stop/Cancel key to stop
playback.
2. Hold down the Shift key and press step key 11 (Insert Pat-
tern). (The 11 key will blink.)
3. The position indication in the display will blink. Rotate the
dial to select the position at which you wish to insert a pat-
tern. (For example if you wish to insert a pattern into posi-
tion 3. make the display blink "003.")
4. Press step key 11 once again, and a pattern will be inserted
in front of that position. (The key will go dark.)
To cancel, press the Stop/Cancel key.
The pattern that is inserted will be the pattern which had pre-
viously been at that position. Now you can specify the de-
sired pattern for the position that was inserted.
Data following the inserted pattern will be moved backward.
Deleting a pattern from a specified po-
sition (Delete Pattern)
You can delete a pattern from a specified position, and subse-
quent patterns will be moved forward (toward the beginning
of the song).
1. If the song is playing, press the Stop/Cancel key to stop
playback.
2. Hold down the Shift key and press step key 12 (Delete Pat-
tern). (The 12 key will blink.)
3. The position indication in the display will blink. Rotate the
dial to select the position from which you wish to delete the
pattern. (For example if you wish to delete the pattern from
position 5. make the display blink "005.")
4.
Press step key 12 once again, and the pattern will be deleted.
To cancel, press the Stop/Cancel key.
When you delete a pattern, the event data (refer to the follow-
ing page) at that position will also be deleted.
Data following the inserted pattern will be moved forward.
Changing the pattern for a specific position
1. If you are playing back, press the Stop/Cancel key to stop
playback.
2. Use the cursor keys to select Position (the corresponding
LED will light).

dicate Pattern.
